I heard the Rega RS3 being powered by the Elicit with the Apollo as the source. The results were very disappointing... 2 dimensional/no bass/small scale/poor resolution/detail and lack of engagement. I asked the dealer if the speakers were "broke in" he told me they have been on the showroom floor for over a year! I'm sure better results can be had in a smaller room, but IMO Magnepan/Martin Logan and Vienna Acoustics offer more speaker at similar costs.
